Chi Alpha's Texan chapters were highlighted by ''[[Christianity Today]]'' in 2023 for allowing a registered sex offender to serve as a mentor despite knowing of his status.

The Assemblies of God district in North Texas started an investigation to discover if other credentialed ministers had acted similarly.<ref name=":7">{{Cite web |last=Shellnutt |first=Kate |title=Registered Sex Offender Continued to Minister to Chi Alpha Students |url=https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2023/may/chi-alpha-daniel-savala-sex-offender-abuse-houston-ag.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230516034745/https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2023/may/chi-alpha-daniel-savala-sex-offender-abuse-houston-ag.html |archive-date=2023-05-16 |access-date=2023-05-16 |website=Christianity Today |language=en}}</ref> A [[Baylor University]] campus minister was arrested on sex abuse charges, and the Baylor chapter was suspended.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wingfield |first=Mark |date=2023-05-26 |title=Leader of Assemblies of God student group at Baylor arrested on child sexual abuse charges |url=https://baptistnews.com/article/leader-of-assemblies-of-god-student-group-at-baylor-arrested-on-child-sexual-abuse-charges/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230526133123/https://baptistnews.com/article/leader-of-assemblies-of-god-student-group-at-baylor-arrested-on-child-sexual-abuse-charges/ |archive-date=2023-05-26 |access-date=2023-05-26 |website=Baptist News Global |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-05-25 |title=Baylor Campus Ministry Leader Charged with Sex Abuse of Two Boys |url=https://julieroys.com/baylor-campus-ministry-leader-hundl-charged-with-sexual-abuse-of-two-boys/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230526133636/https://julieroys.com/baylor-campus-ministry-leader-hundl-charged-with-sexual-abuse-of-two-boys/?mc_cid=e5f44da783&mc_eid=8be88ae307 |archive-date=2023-05-26 |access-date=2023-05-26 |website=The Roys Report |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Kyle |first=Matt |date=2023-05-25 |title=Waco police: Baylor-based minister let 'mentor' sexually abuse family members |url=https://wacotrib.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/waco-police-baylor-based-minister-let-mentor-sexually-abuse-family-members/article_e2bc875c-fb3c-11ed-9a46-2bd6a2a6c0d5.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230526133919/https://wacotrib.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/waco-police-baylor-based-minister-let-mentor-sexually-abuse-his-children/article_e2bc875c-fb3c-11ed-9a46-2bd6a2a6c0d5.html |archive-date=2023-05-26 |access-date=2023-05-26 |website=Waco Tribune-Herald |language=en}}</ref> In 2022, a minister working for Chi Alpha in Corpus Christi, Texas, was charged with sexual abuse of a minor.<ref name=":62">{{Cite web |date=2022-07-11 |title=Pastor arrested on allegations of continuous sexual assault of a minor |url=https://www.kristv.com/Pastor-arrested-on-allegations-of-continuous-sexual-assault-of-a-minor |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230206212030/https://www.kristv.com/pastor-arrested-on-allegations-of-continuous-sexual-assault-of-a-minor |archive-date=6 Feb 2023 |access-date=2023-05-16 |website=KRIS 6 News Corpus Christi |language=en}}</ref> By the end of January 2024, the Assemblies of God was sued by a parent of an unnamed minor who alleged sexual abuse by members of the organization,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shellnutt |first=Kate |date=2024-01-26 |title=Father Sues Assemblies of God for Alleged Abuse of Teen |url=https://christianitytoday.com/news/2024/january/chi-alpha-abuse-lawsuit-assemblies-of-god-texas-am-savala.html |access-date=2024-01-31 |website=Christianity Today |language=en}}</ref> and an Orange,Texas-based church disaffiliated with AG over the scandal.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Blair |first=Leonardo |date=2024-03-25 |title=MAG Church disaffiliates from Assemblies of God over Chi Alpha abuse scandal |url=https://www.christianpost.com/news/mag-church-disaffiliates-from-assemblies-of-god.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240330224200/https://www.christianpost.com/news/mag-church-disaffiliates-from-assemblies-of-god.html |archive-date=2024-03-30 |access-date=2024-03-25 |website=The Christian Post}}</ref>
